Bab 53: Chapter 53
The 'world swallowing plan.' While she was in a deep sleep, the newly ascended ruler had already annexed a world? And even solved the world's lifespan problem that Fanes couldn't resolve.
Wow—this descendant is too powerful! So powerful that Fanes can't even see his shadow!
As the four shadows of Fanes, no one knew Fanes' strength better than them. Even if Fanes were killed, she wouldn't be able to annex a world, let alone continue annexing others.
Istalu instantly grabbed Takumi's hand, her expression saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you grow stronger and achieve greater glory."
Takumi suppressed a smile and flicked her forehead lightly: "You're just a mascot now, and you still think you can help me? Anyway, stay as you are. It's quite pleasing to the eye."
He didn't feel uncomfortable with such an over-the-top statement. After all, Fanes was a descendant. Who knew how many worlds Fanes had visited before?
Istaru covered her forehead. "Why is this? At least return the power of time to me."
Takumi smiled: "Anything I give back to you is still mine."
Istaru's cheeks puffed up in anger. Although that was true, she was in charge of time. Without the authority over time, how could she fulfill her role?
Everyone felt oddly satisfied seeing "Tianli" and "Lord God" bullying the time god, who had lost her power. Even the shadows blinked in amusement.
Takumi ignored Istaru's angry expression and looked at everyone. "Then, that concludes the awards. I hope you all work harder in the future. I am, after all, quite elegant and easygoing."
Everyone forced a smile. "Elegant and easygoing? Really? I'd rather trust my own eyes."
Takumi glanced at the energy flowing towards Yingxiang Mountain, then looked at Lei Xingxing. Lei Xingxing blinked with a thoughtful expression, almost like a wife touching her chin.
"Under normal circumstances, it would take at least two hundred years for thunder and lightning to be born. Though two hundred years is just a blink for gods, it will delay many of my plans."
A subtle smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
Yae Miko sensed something ominous about that smile. As someone who enjoyed himself, he knew it was the signature look of a devious idea forming.
Raiden Ei was anxious. "What should we do then?"
Would delaying Tianli's plan make Tianli impatient? Her sister had finally been resurrected; what would she do if something happened?
Yae Miko sighed, knowing that the naive Raiden Ei had fallen for it.
Hu Zhai Palace silently took out her pipe, lighting it up and blowing out a smoke ring comfortably. As a thousand-year-old fox, she could tell immediately that Takumi was interested in both Shenzi and Raiden Ei.
Interest, in this case, meant romantic interest.
Besides being naturally inclined to tease others, Takumi was showing the immature actions of someone wanting attention from a girl they liked.
It was a pity that Raiden Ei, a martial arts enthusiast, didn't notice at all. Had it been real, she would have seen it long ago.
Takumi smiled. "Well, as a goddess, you must be a good cook. If you prepare a dish everyone likes, I'll provide Zhen with an extra year of energy. How about it?"
Raiden Ei's eyes lit up. Was there really such a good offer? She quickly nodded in agreement.
"Good."
She then asked Kamisato Ayato and Kamisato Ayaka to summon Inazuma's best chef. The siblings took the order and hurried to find the best cook in Inazuma.
Takumi watched Raiden Ei leave in a rush, the corners of his mouth forming a subtle smile.
Yae Miko looked at the cheerful Takumi, speaking casually. "You know that Ei's cooking skills are terrible, yet you still asked her to cook."
She remembered how, five hundred years ago, Ei's cooking had almost poisoned Hu Zhai Palace, Yuri Sasa, and others.
Hu Zhai Palace, smoking silently, trembled as her face turned green, her stomach involuntarily clenching. She hoped she wouldn't have to taste Ei's food, not just after being resurrected.
Takumi pretended to be surprised. "Really? I had no idea."
Yae Miko rolled her eyes.
Takumi was displeased. "Hmph, how dare a little fox doubt me and roll her eyes at me. I'm upset, and I'm going to punish you!"
He instantly appeared in front of Yae Miko. Before she could react, he grabbed her ears and began playfully scolding her, reshaping them into various forms.
Yae Miko let out an involuntary squeak.
"Lord Hu Zhai Palace, save me!"
"Oh, Shenzi, it's just ear-rubbing. Don't I rub your ears often as well?"
"Lord Hu Zhai Palace! You're just like Zhen! W-Wah..."
Suddenly, screams echoed through Narukami Shrine. The shrine maidens exchanged puzzled looks, but none dared to investigate.
A while later, on the path down Shadow Mountain, Yae Miko combed her ear fur, shooting a resentful glare at the figure ahead.
"Really, my fur is all curled now. Who knows how many skincare products I'll need to fix this."
Takumi said confidently, "Those ears belong to me according to our contract. Anyone who breaks their promise will be punished by eating rocks."
The ever-obliging Istaru floated beside Takumi, giggling. "That's right. Those who break promises must eat rocks."
Yae Miko frowned. She had been deceived by Takumi, the god of Sky Island, whom even Raiden Ei respected. She doubted that Liyue's Geo Archon contracts could apply to her.
Not wanting to dwell on it, she decided not to argue. Who knew what further torment awaited her?
"Lord Takumi, shouldn't you be heading to Fengdan to conquer another world?"
Let this troublesome god work, so he wouldn't have time to bother her.
Takumi's eyes widened. "What? Conquer another world? Wouldn't that mean I'd have to keep working overtime?"
Yae Miko blinked in confusion. "Isn't that your plan?"
Takumi lifted his chin. "Can't I relax after fighting for so long?"
Yae Miko: "Huh?"
Istaru said, "Takumi means he's just conquered a world and hasn't had time to enjoy it yet. There are no major issues in Teyvat for now, so there's no rush."
Yae Miko was exasperated. "And how do you plan to enjoy yourself now? Inazuma is full of work, and there's nothing fun here. Liyue next door is quite prosperous."
Takumi nodded thoughtfully. "You have a point. Let's start in Liyue, make our way to Fengdan, and have some fun along the way."
